No, this is #271407. It's likely that no more update to shadow will happen until sarge release unless someone convinces the release managers (mail debian-release) and someone else does the job. > > Furthermore I'd like to be able to set it to the same password chosen > by the user for his personal account. This imply that the user account > must be set up *before* root password. Is this possible? No, this would be a change to passwd.confg logic which will not be made for sarge also... However, you should be able preseed the values for "normal" user: #passwd passwd/user-password password j0hn_D0e #passwd passwd/user-password-again password j0hn_D0e #passwd passwd/user-fullname string John Doe (untested!) Unfortunately, the user login name cannot be preseeded as it is resetted to the user first name (thus "john" in my example) by passwd config script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
